Which option is less likely to sag – drywalls hung parallel or perpendicular?

What are the problems associated with using screws?

If a screw is used and set too deep, there is a tendency that it will tear the face paper and it will get weaker. If the framing of the drywall is bowed in the area where the screw is attached, the screw will not be able to pull the drywall tight. When the drywall is hit, the screw will pop out.
